One day this week Strathclyde Police officers will have visited Lennoxtown and Murray Park and reminded players and officials the consequences their actions can have before during and after Sundays Celtic-Rangers game.
Our streets are dangerous on these weekends, best avoided, always avoided by me. You know it, I know it, people who have worked in the game for the last 40-odd years know it.
At a media conference at Ibrox today, Sandy Jardine said:
“Having gone round and met a lot of the supporters and people within the club, I think people are absolutely sick and tired of everybody having a kick at us when we’re down.
“Out of that, the supporters will take sanctions against clubs which we deem have been unfair to ourselves.
“I’m not going to go into the actual details but we will probably announce that after the meeting with the supporters clubs.
“Everybody is sick and tired of just accepting everything that everybody is throwing at us and it’s about starting to fight back.
“The size of our club and the size of our supporter base, it can be a powerful weapon.
“Everybody having a kick at us”. “Supporters will take sanctions”. “It’s about starting to fight back”.
Watch yourself at the weekend. After the game, go home and stay there. Talk about kicking and fighting three days before the game does not bode well.

I’m not long back from my first ever visit to Malta & Gozo. What a wonderful place. Going back soon as.
On that note,goodnight & HH!
Coal fires…
When you’re big enough to go round the back and fill the coal scuttle, then it’s your job forever.
But the airport kindly fitted secondary double glazing, which meant the second back door opened outwards into the tunnel of wind.
So on windy nights we ventured round the house alone in the darkness.
Approaching the coal bunker…. The wind singing in the trees…
Then sticking the shovel into a black opening, hoping for coal, but fearing the worst.
Back round again with the booty, the trees laughin at a 12 year old boy.
Then the good bit.
I was the fire starter.
Smelly fire lighters.
Twisted bits of newspaper.
Then the quick coal.
Then the anthracite.
Ventilate…. Watch it as it becomes a furnace…
Reduce the air….
Watch it…
Happy…
Twelve years old.
Sorry Paul, but that’s not the way to deal with them at all.
Running away from them, just emboldens their actions and actually lead to further increased levels of appalling behaviour.
When they beat that Lambeg it’s best to let them know that appeasement isn’t on the cards.

very good memories of doing the same as a 7 year old.
as my sign off often says …………
keep it lit.
Arguing about the merits of Democrat vs Republican…
like arguing Apache is better than Comanche
I preferred Cochise myself, although Ten Bears of the Comanche was a dude. None of them, however, gave me Liquorice.

I’m honoured to have read that.
Camping or cottages up North – I’m the firestarter.
Still get scared filling the bucket. We’re simple things at the end of the day. With simple fears.
It’s sharing them that kill them.

Rasc,

While I have some admiration for the bravehearts among us who seem to think that prudence is akin to cowardice, I am going to urge anybody going to Sunday’s hopefully last ever re-enactment of the skirmish at the Boyne, to think of the possible outcome of being foolhardy & reckless. Cutting out as many of the situations which could put ourselves or others at any physical risk is not being a wimp.
It is simple common sense.
Get there, enjoy the game & then get yourself back to the safety of your own familiar environs.
We will not be dealing with rational, sentient human beings.
We will be dealing with a hate-filled, psychopathic & desperate horde, who WILL be looking for unsuspecting victims.
Their is no nobility or honour in confronting such madness.
Avoid them if humanly possible.
In the same way that we would not confront a rabid dog,.. just miss them out.
There is NOTHING to be gained by becoming involved.
I hope not one of us, or indeed of them, ends up crippled or worse from what is guaranteed to be a dangerous event.
GET HOME SAFE.

I had hoped McCoist had matured somewhat when I posted this in Mid April.
Rather sad that his journey to maturity will require him to learn from his massive error of judgement. Us Tims seem to be choc a bloc with leaders and the Bluenoses appear to have none.
From 14 April
On the question of what would be an acceptable outcome (and I know the following will be viewed as highly unlikely) if I were advising Rangers I would be saying this to Alistair McCoist.
Alistair, tell D&P and CW that the party is over. Tell them it is time to stop struggling to hang on. Tell them it is time to let go.
As a rallying point you have the opportunity to lead Rangers forward by accepting what Scotland is telling you, that what Rangers have done is a betrayal of the game we all love,no one more than yourself.
No one meant it to become a betrayal, but it has.
Accept this.
Liquidate the club, pay off the creditors as best can be done under the insolvency rules and apply to start again at the bottom of the senior professional game. You will come back.
If you can allocate even a small percentage of income to keep paying legacy creditors, do so. It is a small sign of integrity, but the watching world needs some sign.
This Alistair is the decent thing to do and those supporters who stick with New Rangers will be the decent Rangers support.
They will be the ones on whom you can build a future. They are the kind of people that the rest of football can start to build a degree of trust with, because they will have acted with honour and, dare I say it dignity.
Such a move will transform Ranger’s situation as well as our game and if you really love and value it, you will take the step sadly, but knowing you are laying the foundations of a new Rangers that all Scotland can start to trust. Without trust as a foundation there is no future.
It will be difficult medicine to swallow but as Gibran says
“It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.”
It is the only way back and the only way forward.
So, when cheated titles have been returned,
which Celtic player will have won the most in a row :o)
Auld Heid:
As you, myself and BRTH have all posted tonight, and at times past, a moral man would have done this, would have taken the club down a new path. He had a chance almost unprecedented in their history, to cleanse them of the filth.
He has chosen, instead, to immerse himself in it.
By his choices, let him be judged forevermore. If history is written by the winners it is all the more imperative we be in the winners enclosure, so that those who follow us can look back and know that the chance to make Rangers into something which would actually have been worth saving was tossed aside like an empty beer can, by people too drunk on their superiority complex to see the writing on the wall. He hoped by speaking out he could force the hands of those in power, to move to save them.
Instead, he inadvertently kicked away the chair.
I see I have forgotten how to spell THERE.
well according to ff and huns media kennedy and murrays blue people
they have a deal, seen screen grab of keith jackson and the daily hun
saying it looks like a deal, yes the same keith of the radar jackson

Just picked up this little Ayrshire gem in on line Daily Hun:
Revealed: Rock band Biffy Clyro have Irn-Bru flown out to Los Angeles
Apr 24 2012 By John Dingwall
YOU can take the boys out of Scotland… but you can’t take Scotland out of the boys.
Rockers Biffy Clyro had one big problem with recording their sixth album in Los Angeles – no Irn-Bru.
So Simon Neil and brothers Ben and James Johnston sent an SOS to the Cumbernauld headquarters of AG Barr, the makers of Scotland’s other national drink.
And they immediately flew out 18 cases of Irn-Bru to LA.
The Ayrshire band’s manager, Neil Anderson, said: “Despite LA’s beaches, sunshine, culture and amazing food, the lack of Irn-Bru was a problem.
“California was tainted with a grey cloud – and we knew something orange would brighten our stay.”
Last line says it all.I used to like Iron Bru
I’m just about to try and wake a 001Bhoy that fell asleep 20 minutes ago to go for his flight to Bellshill.
I’ve had a majic four days with a right good fella I know through this site, like many others I’ve met.
Without getting personal you have no Ikea how good it was to meet a pal and talk Scottish this week, no ikea. Was perfect timing to meet 001bhoy.
Paul67, sorry for no inviting you but thanks for this place, not being over emotional when I say that bit thanks.
I’m off to try and wake someone for his flight home, aye I’m considering letting him sleep and half inching two tickets. But not an option, waking him scares me.

It’s Keith Jackson, who on the radio on Wednesday last week said liquidation was inevitable if they weren’t saved the following day. We’re now eight days past his point of no return. This was the guy who called Whytey a billionaire. And in case you are still worried … I just went on to RM and had a peek ….
Full of ifs, buts, maybes, could’s, mights and hopefully’s.
Not exactly journalism. More, a big dollop of wishful thinking.
The report claims Kennedy and TBK COULD be about to do a deal. It also says they are hopeful of the CVA … and then the bombshell. They have kicked Ticketus out of the deal … which guarantees the CVA is dead.
Honestly, if they choose to believe a word Jackson and that rag say, hell mend them. They are heading for the come-down of all time.
James Forrest is Neil Lennon! We are ALL Neil Lennon!,
i agree just pointing out the of the radar man and his rag doing what they do before a
glasgow derby.
seems like were forever commenting on what they say, jardine being the latest ,It also seems to me that whatever they do or say they get away with . I think we are flogging a dead horse trying to get a level playing field here . The only ones trying to get the truth out there is our own posters like paul phil,auldheid, ernie. and a few other clever guys , but alex thompson being the one guy to get the message of what IS really going on up here outside this country , as that is where it needs to be , we will never see justice being done in this country . while they have all in sundry ,applying the pressure for them to get off scot free. This guy wishart being the latest fairly pumping his gums in there defence. This imho is being dragged out to there benefit , the list of proven misdemeanors against them is overwhelming. they should have been hammered long ago . the case should have went straight to eufa, all relevant evidence handed over to be judged on, taking it out the hands of the sfa which i for one have never trusted in this or any other matter pertaining to them and us .I wonder what would have happened if it had been NFL who did what mccoist did, NO I DONT WONDER . I KNOW .

They are shameless mate. The gutter is where they belong, if the gutter will have them.
James Forrest is Neil Lennon! We are ALL Neil Lennon!,
my wish at the end of all this is that journalists are implicated that i would enjoy
as much as them being wound up.
It will be liquidation, no doubts on that score!

philvisreturns, your comment at 00:01 about the ‘giant turd’ and the douche sandwich has obviously went over everybody’s head. They are clearly not as well versed in political science as ourselves. ;)

Spent a majic week with a CQNer from the other side of the world and yees continue with yer pish. Stop bothering about one of the Glasgow teams that claim to be a rival of CELTIC.

Estadio Nacional ,
not only that , we have The Kano Foundation EOS bash in the kerrydale on saturday night.
folks , not a lot of people know (c Michael Caine) that EN was involved in setting up our Facebook account in the early days (Summer 2010) and was instrumental in raising our profile amongst the Celtic Family.
Hail Hail EN – wish you were here .

saw this earlier on folgen folgen -they REALLY don’t get irony , do they ?
Having played against Cove Rangers many times, I would just like to say that they are an odious, rancid football club. When they arrived in the Highland League in the 80’s they came into it with the Billy big time attitude, showing no signs of humility, expecting to turn up and sweep all before them.
Oops , have i broken the blog ?
Hello , Hello !!!!
Sanna
Just in and not really had much of an opportunity to look in to CQN tonight so apologies if this has been covered.
On Sunday at the final (hopefully) game against the huns, the Green Brigade are proposing that the Celtic support express their opposition to newco in the SPL by turning their backs on the game. This will take place on the 15th minute a last for 60 seconds.
It is important that the support realise that this isn’t a ‘huddle’ so please pass this on in any way you can; Facebook, Twitter, text, email and good ol fashioned word of mouth.
Let’s make our message clear and unequivocal NO NEWCO IN THE SPL!!
AYE
HAMILTON TIM
You said earlier that you were too busy to check in on CQN so much these days.
You kept that one quiet,you dark horse,you.
Anyway,congratulations on your new job-I hope you enjoy it as much as teaching………..

Eh????? :-)
Is the blog broke?
I wonder di McCoist or Jardine consider the likely adverse effect on tension when they disgraced themselves?
Where are you Mr Regan, we’re still waiting.
Questioning the impartiality of your panelists.
Calling for the panelists to be outed.
Castigating the SFA disciplinary procedure that their club approved of.
Accusing the SFA of killing their club.
Threatening reprisals and recriminations against other Scottish clubs.
Coordinating meetings of their supporters to encourage this reprisal action.
Demanding that their club be excused appropriate penalties in view of their size.
These are statements bringing the game in Scotland into very serious disrepute.
What are you, Mr Regan going to do about it?
hatrick for me?
Great posts today from Barcabhoy on RTC.
From Alex Thomson on his channel 4 blog.
From BRTH on this site.
Didn’t get to read everything but still great stuff.
Night all
